As the details unravel for what exactly happened, the chemistry the receiver was building with his new quarterback, Russell Wilson, may falter depending on how long Jeudy remains behind bars. Just this past week Jeudy gushed over the new Broncos QB.
“He could help me a lot, he’s a great quarterback, a Hall of Fame quarterback that came to the offense as a leader,” Jeudy said, according to ESPN. “He’s going to help me a lot this year.”
